I recently put Endeavour with KDE on an old laptop (c. 2013). It runs great. Much snappier than it ever did with windows. Great distro.


I put an m.2 SSD on my Pi and dropped in an Intel optane 16gb SSD for $10 on eBay. Its definitely snappy


There's an unexpected optical illusion in the size diagram. The 1/6 block appears narrower than the 1/9 block.


I recently saw a patient with overwhelming MRSA sepsis with multiple foci of infection including epidural abscess (around the spinal cord), and meningitis. This person was taking rapamycin presumably for "life extension" purposes. Almost certainly the immunosuppression from the rapamycin made the infection much worse.

I'd be very wary of taking an immunosuppressive drug as an otherwise healthy person for theoretical life extension properties.


Don't come and spoil our nice individualism with populational effects, you filthy rationalist !


What was the dose and frequency? I bet it was rather high. Or do you really think that 1 mg once per week will suppress the immune system?


So far GPT-5 has not been able to pass my personal "Turing test" which has been unsuccessful for the past several years starting through various versions of Dall-e up to the latest model. I want it to create an image of Santa Claus pulling the sleigh with a reindeer in the sleigh holding the reins, driving the sleigh. No matter how I modify the prompt it is still unable to create this image that my daughter requested a few years ago. This is an image that is easily imagined and drawn by a small child yet the most advanced AI models still can't produce it. I think this is a good example that these models are unable to "imagine" something that falls outside of the realm of it's training data.



Interesting. Yes, that's basically what I've been going for but none of my prompts ever gave a satisfactory response. Plus I noticed you just copy/pasted from my initial comment and it worked. Weird.

After my last post I was eventually able to get it to work by uploading an example image of Santa pulling the sleigh and telling it to use the image as an example, but I couldn't get it by text prompt alone. I guess I need to work on my prompt skills!

that was smooth


Is GPT-5 not just routing this request to a 4o/other tool call?


I also misread it as Gnome editors and was briefly very confused when I started reading the article.


I have had tinnitus for years, I suspect partly genetic and exacerbated by spending a lot of my 20s and 30s at loud concerts. But just recently I noticed I now have deafness to certain frequencies in one ear. I had an air leak a tire and realized I could hear the hiss of air escaping with one ear but not the other. Protect your ears, folks.


I've used multiple hospital EHR systems and, while it's not great, of the systems I've used Epic is the best of the bunch.


A tortoise? What's that?


I also use it in cooking, add a spoonful to a soup or a stew and it really adds some great umami flavor. Marmite roasted potatoes are delicious, too.


As someone who both loves marmite and is currently learning Rust I was unable to resist clicking.
